Ali Ataie – The Author of the Qur’an Knew the Future Jewish People Will Figure Prominently in History Ali

One of the major signs of the divine

provenance of the Quran is the fact that

the Jews figure so prominently in the Quranic

discourse. The word al yahud is mentioned 9

times. The phrase Bani Israel is mentioned 41

times, so dozens of references.

Why is this a sign?

Because the Jews have always been a tiny

community in terms of numbers.

They were a tiny community at the time

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam with no

real worldly power.

Palestine was under Byzantine control,

and the Jews were scattered across the nations

in diaspora. The Persians, on the other hand,

at that time, were a huge powerful empire.

And yet Allah

almost never mentions the Persians because Allah

knew that the

Persian will very quickly become Muslim, almost all

of them. And yet the Jews, despite their

tiny numbers, will continue to be very consequential

for many, many generations to come and even

rise to power once again. You see the

Quran is transhistorical in its guidance.

The author of the Quran knows the future.
